But roads are pretty easy to write about (and write from) because they almost invariably point towards the future in the middle of a transitional period. Very cliché.

You see, you're already several steps ahead of most people, myself included. You know there were a bunch of roads where stuff happened. I had to google which one Mr. Samaritan was on. I was thinking it was Damascus, but that's where Paul had HIS little episode (which you mentioned). I think the whole road thing is significant, because roads tend to be serendipitous. Most of what happens on roads is unexpected. I like that in Spanish, camino means "way" but it's also "road." The Way and the road seem to be synonymous in that sense. Yeah, Samaritan guy.

Is that where that guy in the big book met the good Samaritan? Or was it where that Roman guy saw God and changed his ways? Jericho.. something about seven horns and the walls falling? Long time since I did Sunday church:) On the road to Jericho?
